Installation
Precaution Before Start
Static Electricity Damage:
Static electricity can easily damage your motherboard. Observing a few
basic precautions can help safeguard against damage that could result in
expensive repairs. Follow the simple measures below to protect your
equipment from static electricity damage.
1. Keep the motherboard and other system components in their anti-static packaging until
you are ready to install them.
2. Touch a grounded surface before you remove any system component from its protective
anti-static packaging. Unpacking and installation should be done on a grounded, antistatic mat. The operator should be wearing an anti-static wristband, grounded at the
same points as the anti-static mat.
3. After removing the motherboard from its original packaging, only place it on a
grounded, anti-static surface component side up. Immediately inspect the board for
damage. Due to shifting during shipping, it is suggested that the installer press down on
the entire socket ICs to ensure they are properly seated. Do this only with the board
placed on a firm flat surface.
4. During configuration and installation touch a grounded surface frequently to discharge
any static electrical charge that may have built up in your body. The best precaution is
to wear a grounded wrist strap. Avoid touching the components when handling the
motherboard or a peripheral card. Handle the motherboard and peripheral cards either
by the edges or by the peripheral card case-mounting bracket.
Misplaced Jumper Damage:
There are critical headers used for connectors or power sources. These
are clearly marked separately from the jumpers listed in Motherboard
Layout. Incorrect setting jumpers and connectors may lead to damage
to your motherboard. Please pay special attention not to connect these
headers in wrong directions

3.2 Connectors and Jumpers
This motherboard requires jumper setting for some features. The following graphic shows you
how to set a proper jumper setting.

Installation
3.3 CPU (Central Processing Unit)
This motherboard supports a PGA 462 AMD Athlon family processor. To complete CPU
installation, please install CPU to socket firmly, presented in Sec. 3.3.1.
3.3.1 Install a CPU
Please follow the below steps to install your CPU.
Step 1: Pull the handling bar of the socket upward to the other end to loosen the socket’s
openings.
Step 2: Place the CPU on the middle of the socket, orienting its beveled corner to line up
with the socket’s beveled corner. Make sure the pins of the CPU fit evenly to the
socket openings.
Handling Bar
Step 1 Step 2
Step 3: Press the handling bar downward to fasten the CPU to the socket.
Warning: It is strongly recommended that a heatsink and CPU cooling fan be used to prevent
the CPU from overheating. Applying a thermal of jelly between the CPU and the
heatsink/fan will further cool the CPU.

Installation
3.4 System Memory (DRAM)
3.4.1 DIMM (Dual Inline Memory Module)
The motherboard features two 168-pin DIMM sockets, share memory module. If you have
only one DIMM RAM, note that you must insert it into DIMM 1. You can configure the
system memory size from 16MB to 1GB in a variety of ways by using different combinations
of the two 168-pin DIMMs.
3.4.2 Installation Procedure
Step1: Make sure Pin 1 of the DIMM match
with pin 1 of the DIMM socket.
Step2: Insert the DIMM module into the DIMM
socket vertically. After inserting the
DIMM module completely into the
socket, push up on the socket latches
securing the DIMM into place. If the pin
1 of the DIMM module does not line up with pin 1 of the socket, the DIMM module
will not be inserted correctly into the socket.
Be careful not to misfit the DIMM into DIMM socket in wrong direction. This module can be
inserted into the socket only one way. To release the memory module, push both latches
down and carefully rock the module forward and backward while slowly lifting it upward.
3.4.3 DIMM Combinations
Each DIMM socket can be inserted with 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, and
512MB. For example, the following figure shows you one way to insert your DIMMs.
Select
DIMM 1
DIMM 2
Select DIMM 1: 32MB
DIMM 2: 16MB
16MB 64MB
Empty 16MB
32MB

64MB
Total
32+16=48MB
128MB

512MB
Select 1 out of 6 Choices (16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, and 512MB) in DIMM 1.
Then, repeat again in DIMM 2 for 7 choices (Empty, 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB, 128MB,
256MB, and 512MB).

Installation
3.5 Expansion Slots
This motherboard contains 4 expansion slots. One AGP and three 32-bit PCI expansion slots.
AGP Expansion Slot
The Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) is a high performance interconnect targeted at 3D
graphical display applications and is based on a set of performance extensions or
enhancements to the PCI bus. (AGP interface specification Rev. 2.0 compliant.)
Note: The motherboard supports AGP 1X/2X/4X mode.
To install expansion cards, please read the expansion card’s documentation for instructions
and cautions.
PCI Expansion Slots
All PCI expansion slots accept PCI bus master cards and are fully supported by the PCI 2.1
and PCI 2.2 specifications.
